The purpose of the Pretrial Services Office is to support community safety efforts by providing accurate information to the judicial system for release decisions and structured supervision of defendants while on pretrial status.

The Pretrial Services Division accomplishes this in two primary ways:

Interview and investigate individuals who qualify for Personal Recognizance Bonds (PR Bonds) and provide that information to the judicial officers who make a determination to release the individual from custody. Once released the officer will provide supervision to ensure the individual attends all scheduled court appearances and does not re-offend while out on PR Bond.

Provide compliance monitoring to individuals who have been released from custody with conditions on surety bonds; conditions may include – drug testing, substance abuse treatment, special needs monitoring, domestic violence caseload, GPS or electronic monitoring, Ignition Interlock Orders or supervision.
